A fixture in Tennessee athletic history, past and present, Condredge Holloway is best known to Vol fans for the razzle-dazzle offense he quarterbacked during his undergraduate days of the 1970s. Nicknamed "The Artful Dodger," Holloway packed excitement into every play, whether it developed into a pass or a scramble.

In his three seasons (1972-74) as a starter, Holloway directed the Vols to the 1972 Astro-Bluebonnet, 1973 Gator and 1974 Liberty bowls and an overall record of 25-9-2. He ended his career with the best interception-to-attempt ratio in Tennessee history, throwing just 12 interceptions in 407 collegiate attempts.

In addition to being the first black quarterback at Tennessee and in the Southeastern Conference, Holloway also was the first black baseball player in UT history.

The outstanding prospect had been selected out of high school by the Montreal Expos with their first-round pick (fourth overall). Holloway opted instead for a two-sport collegiate career and went on to excel on the diamond, garnering All-SEC and All-America honors as a shortstop in 1975 and finishing with a .353 career batting average.

In 2009, Holloway -- still the owner of UT's longest hitting streak at 27 games -- was selected to Tennessee's All-Century Baseball Team, making him the only UT student-athlete named to all-century squads in both baseball and football.

Holloway left Knoxville and played 13 seasons in the Canadian Football League, compiling impressive numbers for the Ottawa Rough Riders (1975-80), Toronto Argonauts (1981-86) and British Columbia Lions (1987). He threw for more than 25,000 yards and rushed for another 3,167 while scoring 155 touchdowns. He was league MVP in 1982.

After his professional playing days ended, Holloway returned to UT and earned his degree. He has spent the past 14 years on the Tennessee staff and is currently UT's Assistant Athletics Director for Student-Athlete Relations and Letterman.

Recently, Holloway's amazing career was the subject of an ESPN documentary, "The Color Orange: The Condredge Holloway Story," produced by Kenny Chesney. It recounted the life and playing days of the SEC's first African-American starting quarterback.

In addition to his recent induction in Alabama, Holloway is a member of the Canadian Football Hall of Fame, Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame and the UT Baseball Hall of Fame, among others.
